A nice Browning Auto-5/Reminton Model 11...
Taken in Westmoreland Hills Maryland.
From when DC and Maryland were more gun friendly. My Dad would be born, in DC, 10 months after this picture was taken. 40 years after this photo was taken, I would be born in a hospital less than 2 miles from that spot. And 80 years after, the people of DC would be 'allowed' to keep firearms in their homes again.

Also. "Hello, little girlie! Let me set you up with a girl-size shotgun that shoots a light little .410 or 28 gauge. Anything bigger than that will be too much gun for such a delicate little thing like you."
"No thanks! I'll just stick with my 12. The one I outshoot everyone within 100 miles with."
Cool! That's a Cutts Compensator at the muzzle, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYep, early Cutts...
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy with my little .410 Saiga. . . and my 15 round magazines.
ReplyDeleteFlorence looks happy - and nice, Albert was a lucky guy. My dad was already 12 when that picture was taken. I see those guns in the used section of a nearby shop more often, with the Cutts too - an generation is passing on.
ReplyDeleteBUY them, Dirt. They are good guns. If they have a $200 price tag they are worth twice that.
